Bringing the Sexy Back
I'm back on LiveJournal y'all. -
Not for Entertainment
I have a daughter who is sixteen months old. I have been married for six years and Tara is pregnant with our second child, a boy, due in early August. It strikes me how time and circumstance has shaped my life and I imagine shapes all lives. I read old LJ posts of mine, partly for simply vain reasons--I think I at least used to be a cleverish ( Read more... ) -
So . . .
On a Saturday in early March, I walked in the front door of my house at the conclusion of a run in the wintry cold. There was no one to greet on the way through the living room.

FCC
I just got back an email from the FCC on my application with the Wireline Competition division, which I sent in over a year ago. They pulled the posting and did not hire anyone. I'm amazed that it can take over 13 months for this to happen. I bet I will get interest from some of my other federal applications on Thursday afternoon, just after ( Read more... ) -
House
So, Tara and I had been waffling for quite some time on the issue of whether to buy a house in or near Grand Rapids. This was mostly a practical issue. On the plus side, it would be nice to roll our monthly housing payment into actual, tangible assets instead of giving it to the landlord. We're also tired of living where we live (although we ( Read more... ) -
Old LJ Entries
Do you ever look back at your old LJ entries, for example if you're thinking of getting a government job that requires security clearance and want to make sure everything is in order, and notice that it appears you've gotten less clever and/or funny with time?
Yeah, me neither.
